Octopus

	(Verse)
	The octopus has 3 hearts
	And lives in caves below the sea
	Or in a beer can or a bath tub
	Or a puddle in the street
	(Verse)
	Any fisherman can tell you
	When an octopus waves its arms
	It hypnotizes stools of fish
	All movement stops for miles
	(Verse)
	Even the waves stand still
	All the witnesses have sworn
	And it’s impossible to resist
	The urge to jump overboard
	(Pre-Chorus)
	That’s why I try and stay away
	From seashore holidays
	(Chorus)
	But I know that no one has to know
	If I take an evening stroll
	Down to the end of the wooden peer
	Where the water’s deep and cold
	(Verse)
	If I should see an octopus
	Lift its arms out of the sea
	Or see its shadow rising up
	Cross the rooftops above the streets
	(Verse)
	I’d follow those dancing limbs
	To the spinning edge of the sky
	Where all the boats fall off the world
	Into the octopus’s eye
	(Pre-Chorus 1)
	That’s why I know I shouldn’t go
	On a cruise across the sea
	(Chorus)
	But I know that no one has to know
	If I take an evening stroll
	Down to the end of the wooden peer
	Where the water’s deep and cold
	(Pre-Chorus)
	That’s why I try and stay away
	From seashore holidays
	(Chorus)
	But I know that no one has to know
	If I take an evening stroll
	Down to the end of the wooden peer
	Where the water’s deep and cold
